I created my first e-wallet account last night. I've been meaning to do so for a while now but I've always been hesitant. I've been very conscious that I want the best financial deal possible and ended up being too cautious. Maybe something to do with the fact that i deposited money on partypoker before I discovered sites like this one and therefore lost out on bonus and extras.
Anyway, after reading some advice here, I chose moneybookers. I decided rather than deposit from my bank account, I would use my mob points to fund my account. I requested a mob transfer last night as well but my mob points are all still there. Is this normal? I requested a transfer of 14000 mob points.
I've applied for the moneybookers card so I won't need to link the account to my bank, I can just spend with my card once I start transferring my poker funds over. But I have to pay 10 euros to get the card (I thought it was supposed to be free with the account) and I can't pay that til BRM transfer is complete. That could take a week so might be a while before I can start spending my poker winnings.

when you withdraw money from pokersites, how many days does it take to be shown in your mooneybookers account. and the opposite transfer from moneybookers to pokersites is it diret or does it take a few hours or days.

I play on Pokerstars and use also Moneybookers and have their Visacard. On PokerStars cash-outs made in the morning are within the same day on my Moneybookers-account, what's really fast and good. Other sites leave the cash-out-r equest for 2-3 days, so you can cancel the cash-out.

Good choice, its always best to use an e-wallet for online games as in most cases, they won't even bother you to send IDs if you use e-wallet to deposit compare to cards wherein you will need to send IDs + copy of your card.

I use moneybookers from a year and at now its all ok, just my last withdraw from Real Deal pokerthat the site confirms the sending of monmey but the money does not appear in my account. But I think that is problem of Real Deal, not from moneybookers.

It usually takes 24 hours from the day the poker site confirms the withdrawal for it to get to your MB account. so most probably RD problem.
I used moneybookers before and still have some money on it but now, they do not allow gambling transactions from our country. sucks!

hey ....stake somebody if you cant play.....maybe yyou get it back and with more cash. it sounds strange....if it is a transfer from a bank i will understand you cant transfer but from moneybookers?
Posted by stibbefritz: The Moneybookers Card is not free - it costs 10 Euro/year and every withdrawal at ATM is another 1,80.
The Neteller Card is the free one, but there it is 4 Euro for every ATM use.
sounds like moneybookers is a much better long term option then...
It depends on usage of ATM. I forgot something : max. withdrawal via ATM per Day : Moneybookers 250 Euro ( or equivalent ) Neteller 400 Euro ( or equivalent )
If you cash out a lot of money moneybookers is the better choice. If you only cashout some winnings during the year, neteller is better. It seems to be more expensive, but dont forget, they have no annual fee.

I have more than 2000 transactions on the internet and more than 1500 are made via moneybookers. Are the best. When I withdraw i receive the money on the bank account sometimes less than 24 hours.
